ton Prompt and Judicious Action
Urged.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. S.-Extensive
preparations are being made for the con-
vention to be held in this city October 20
and q for the improvements of the West
ern waterways. The following circular
has been issued:
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WESTERN
WATERWAYS, STATE OF TENNESSEE,
MEMPHIS, Tenn, October Z, 1887 }
To the People 0fHe Mississippi VaDeU
As the time for the meeting of the Western
Waterways convention at Memphis on the
Goth of October is near at hand, the executive
committee for Tennessee, in view Of
the Importance of the matters to be consid-
cred by the convention, has deemed it advisa'
BILE and proper to supplement the circular no.
tice and invitation heretofore issued by brief
reminder calling special attention to the sub
ject,
In order to be Of any practical value the con-
vention must be in fact as well as in name a
representative body, voicing the necessity and
requirements Of the people of this great val
ley in deliverance that shall be Of no doubt
full import and which the legislative and exec
utive departments of the National Government
will not feel at liberty to sregard
The committee therefore urges prompt and
iudicious action on the part of the several
States, cities, communities, boards of trade
and other organizations locally interested in
the selection and appointment of delegates, all
of whom may be assured of cordial greeting
on the part of Memphis and her people,

A Notable and Efficient Corps of Atteh-
dants-Arriyal at Madison, Wisconsin,
MANSON. Wis, Oct S,-The Presidents
train left Milwaukee yesterday, accorulnS
TO the illuminated special time schedule,
half an hour late. The town has ZVo,VVJ
inhabitants, covers an area oil lorty,'"o
souare miles, and there seemed TO De
wish on the part of the authorities TO SNOW
the President every one both OF lnnaol'
tants and square miles. Hence the delay
s.Never better" was Mrs. Cleveland's re-
ply to an inquiry regarding her health as
she came on board; and the President,
who seemed to be made OF iron, reSponueu
for himself with equal heartness' Botn
brought away the impression that NIL
YANKEE is a very orderly town, ana Chey
are agreed that the demonstration
throughout was exceedingly well-man
AGED, every contingency having .beon
foreseen and provided for. Life on the
special train has now settled into nome
like routine, deliciously restful, after the
round of surprises and excitements at the
city stopping places. The rumble Oh Cne
wheels, the gentle swaying OF the cars,
the flying panorama of forest, held ana
hamlet-even the saluting toot anu
hubbub of passing trains have come 10
be. for the travellers, among the normal
conditions of life while the descentS 10
terra firma and the hotel experiences are
it's passing episodes. Though MIS- CleVe-
land rarely gets time to enter any car puG
her own, an impression has been MADE
unon the mind of each person on board
that she feels a personal interest III al,
and the President humorously complains
that her wishes are needed, where his
own would be disregarded.
The corps of Pullman attendants, from
Tobias, the chef who invents marvellous
dishes and still more profound mysteries,
ND to Arthur, the steward, who mVentS
names for them, are princes in disguise,
whose attentions would be rather appal-
ing were they not so uniformly unos-
tentatious in demeanor, performing their
services as if they were matters OF
course, and not things to be PAID
for. Arthur Wells, the steward, IS
Mr.. Pullman's personal attendant and
the custodian of his private car
wherever it moves. Tobias is the
favorite chef of General Manager Thomp-
son of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The
other attendants are the cream OF the
Pullman service, having, without excep-
ton, had years of training under the most
favorable conditions. 1t is a matter OF
constant wonder how wraps, vallses,
books and the smaller nick-nacks OF
travelling party, which are never in sight
when they ought to be, turn up in their
places when wanted; and even how things
forgotten, left behind, and supposed to be
lost, make their way back to their
owners. The run to Madison was charm
ing. The villagers along the way sped
the passing train with their cheers, and in
several instances stations and streets were
adorned with evergreens and streamers.
The arrival at Madison was made upon
time, and the presidential party were i'm
medately conducted to the State Capitol
where the public reception was held.

Asto Receiving Calls.

As to allowing gentlemen to call merely
as pastime, there can be no serious ques'
tion raised. Every lady has the privilege
of choosing her own company, and If she
finds among her gentlemen acquaintance
two or three who are able to entertain her,
she certainly has the right to encourage
them to call. If, however, she leads them
to think that she is in love with them, and
is playing for keeps, she will be doing
wrong. No sensible lady would do this,
but would so conduct herself that the gem
tlemen would understand that they were
merely calling for the pleasure there was
in it, and that whenever they found some-
thing worthy of more serious attention
they would be excused.

The Late Chief Eunuch.

The death of the Chief Eunuch at Con-
stantinople, Bairam Hafz, has caused a
shiver of anxiety throughout the bureau
cracy of the Empire of the Caliphs. The
late Chief Eunuch was reputed to be, in
his way, very honest man-that is to
say, although he took bribes, he performed
his part of the bargain. A new Chief
Eunuch, who, of course, will control the
Sultan, means the purchase of all places
over again, and hence the CONSERVATION
among the officials. The late Chief Eunuch
was reputed to be the wealthiest man in
the Ottoman Empire, but as he was a
slave, his heir is the Sultan, who will thus
for season be relieved of that impecuni-
osity which for some time past has made
his life weary burden.

Is Devoted to Ophiology.
According to the Boston Transcript, sht
lives in Maiden; she is seventeen years
old, OF thereabouts, and she is an ophiolo
gist-that is to say, her speciality is
snakes: Very often, in pleasant summer
weather, this young girl, with hands claa
in high buck gloves and armed with pot'
tie of chloroform, turks about the tenS and
pools and thickets watching for snakes,
a girl fair to look upon, saunterlng, one
might imagine, with eyes upon the
pround, in maiden meditation, indeed, but
not fancy free, because her fancy is bound
TO snakes and she is searching intently Tor
some variety not yet added to her coliec-
tion of several hundred. Presently
she stops; with an eager gleani IN her
eve she crouches along a step or TWO, her
ploveclad right hand drawn back as II TO
clutch some object; she springs forward
toward the ground with swift motion,
and then stands erect with the body OF
snake writhing about her arm in desperate
throes. She has it by the neck and pro-
ceeds calmly to thrust its head into the
neck of her bottle of chloroform
Not many days ago this young scientist,
after rather desperate contest, captured
in the fells a black-snake so large and pow
erful that when it wrapped itself in the
mad grasp of it's body about her arm "
strained her cords and muscles so severely
that she was lame for week. 1t did not
prevent her, however, from sallying forth
again, and when she happened to perceive,

Novel PaYmcnt of a Wager.

Mt. VERNON, Me-, Oct. S.-David Van
VIE of E. S. Higgins & Co. and J. C.
Viney, at the head of the silk department
of Denning g. Co., entertained the popu-
lace here yesterday morning by the pay
ment of a wager on the contest for the
Americas cup, made after the Volunteer
had won the first race. Promptly at a.
m. Mr.. Viney appeared with a wheel
barrow and the next instant Mr.. Van VIE,
carrying in his hand white bannerett
with "Volunteer" painted on it, and in
his left hand bunch of thstles, with the
trimmings of mourning, took his
seat in the vehicle. The residents
along the route turned out and showered
bouquets of flowers, cheers and APP
plause on the contestants. There were
three or four dumps in the roadwao on the
way down, but those were nothing to the
rumpetty- ty-bumpetty-b bump of the barrow
and it's rider over the rough stones. Mr..
Van VIE several times considerably pro-
posed to give a receipt in full for part
payment of the wager, but Mr.. Viney de-
clared that he would not be so dishonor-
able as to fail to pay his debt in full They
reached the station with this result: Mr..
Van VIE, dirt-begrimed hands, soiled
clothing and bruised limbs; Mr.. Viney,
skin peeled from blistered hands; the
wheelbarrow, one leg broken off.

Paris quietly. He has become stouter
since his trip to the German watering
places. He is out of doors nearly all day.
Wednesday morning he drove about the
city visiting points of interest, and in the
afternoon he and Mrs. Blaine took long
walk on the boulevards. Mr. Blaine is
very shy of speaking about his Homburg
experiences, and of the Prince of Wales
incident. No definite decision has been
arrived at as to where the winter will be
spent, although Nice is looked upon with
much favor. Mrs. Blaine keeps to her
room good deal, and although improved
in health, is not well.
